Install and configure the
BEMS-Docs
cluster

  • Configure the appropriate file-sharing services (for example,
    Microsoft SharePoint
    ) and
    Active Directory
    settings.
  • Configure database replication for the
    BEMS-Docs
    database (
    BEMS-Core
    ) from your primary site to your secondary site. SQL log shipping is recommended. Consult your database administrator for assistance.
  • Make sure that the appropriate network ports are open to allow the
    BEMS-Docs
    servers within your secondary site to communicate with the database,
    Microsoft Exchange Server
    and
    BlackBerry Proxy
    servers in your secondary and primary site.
  1. Install
    BEMS
    on each
    BEMS-Docs
    server at the primary site. Select the
    Docs
    option in each case. Use a new database to create a new cluster dedicated to Docs.
  2. Install
    BEMS
    on each
    BEMS-Docs
    server at the secondary site. Select the
    Docs
    option in each case. Add the servers to the same database that you used in step 1.
  3. At the primary site, in the
    BEMS
    dashboard (
    BEMS
    System Settings >
    BEMS
    Configuration >
    BlackBerry Dynamics
    ), configure one or more
    BlackBerry Proxy
    servers from one or more clusters from the primary site. This list is used only for startup. Make sure that you clear the 'Apply to other nodes in this BEMS cluster' check box. Repeat this step for each
    BEMS-Docs
    instance in the primary site.
  4. At the secondary site, in the
    BEMS
    dashboard (
    BEMS
    System Settings >
    BEMS
    Configuration >
    BlackBerry Dynamics
    ), configure one or more
    BlackBerry Proxy
    servers from one or more clusters from the secondary site. This list is used only for startup. Make sure that you clear the 'Apply to other nodes in this BEMS cluster' check box. Repeat this step for each
    BEMS-Docs
    instance in the secondary site.
  5. Configure the appropriate file-sharing services (for example,
    SharePoint
    ) and
    Active Directory
    settings.
  6. Stop the services on the servers at the secondary site.
  7. In the
    BlackBerry UEM
    management console, in the Default
    BlackBerry Dynamics
    connectivity profile, do the following. Depending on your environment configuration, additional server-side services might be required. For more information about
    BEMS
    services and server-side bindings, see the Additional information
    1. Under
      App servers for Feature - Docs Service Entitlement
      , for each of the
      BEMS-Docs
      servers at the primary site, set the
      Priority
      to PRIMARY and set the
      Primary BlackBerry Proxy cluster
      to BPCluster1.
    2. Under
      App servers for Feature - Docs Service Entitlement
      , for each of the
      BEMS-Docs
      servers at the secondary site, set the
      Priority
      to SECONDARY or TERTIARY and set the
      Primary BlackBerry Proxy cluster
      to BPCluster2.
